Moxie

[redbird]

cattitude came back from the Asian grocery store with some small apricots, a large package of nori (dried seaweed, in snack form), Okinawan sweet potatoes, and a bottle of Moxie. We had an apricot each, which were good enough that I happily ate another. Then he offered me a taste of the Moxie. I was hesitant, with a vague idea that it was a strong flavor that would overwhelm the taste of the apricot, but he said it wasn't that strong, and was vaguely floral.

It may not be very strong, but I didn't like it. I gave him back the bottle, and got another apricot. I don't know whether it would appeal more if it had been chilled more, or if I was in a different mood; I suspect I'm not going to find out, at least not soon.
